Hi,

I’m new to Ionic and so far enjoying it. I’m looking to use a material-like theme for my android version, but I want to make sure my iOS or Windows Phone version doesn’t have that material look or feel, how do I determine what theme to apply or does Ionic or Cordova somehow know how to do it for me?

Thanks

[Platform specific functionalities](http://ionicframework.com/docs/api/utility/ionic.Platform/) and [styles](http://ionicframework.com/docs/platform-customization/dynamic-templates.html) are pretty easy to implement in Ionic!
